Obtaining Historical Status

A policy is in place which outlines the method to attain historical status.

Groups must no longer actively contribute to the game. A nomination should be made on Category talk:Historical Groups. Within two weeks of a nomination, the group must be approved by 2/3 of the voters, with a minimum of 15 voters for a nomination to pass. The only allowable votes are Yea and Nay. Groups that pass will be added to the category as described below. Groups must allow a week to pass between nominations. Groups must allow 4 months in between when the group disbands and when they can be nominated for Historical Status. (Note: Only for Malton-based groups)

Nominations for Historical Status

When nominating a group, please add a note to Template:Wiki News and add {{HistoricalGroupVoting}} to the top of the group's page. Also, please add {{HistoricalVotingRules}} under the group's application for historical status.

Big Survivors Little Survivor

Anyway, as unlikely to succeed as it is, I'd like to nominate Big Survivors Little Survivor for Historical status.

You probably have no idea who they were. It's unsurprising.

To Paraphrase.

• BSLS were the first group of any description to be created in Borehamwood.

• BSLS members hold the records for both "largest survived suicide repair in a perma death city." (350ap) and "largest suicide repair ever attempted" (529ap)

• BSLS were the largest organised survivor group, before the meta combined all survivor groups into a single lump.

• BSLS helped implement the standardised 28.06 radio channel throughout borehamwood alongside Galaxy News Radio

• BSLS helped in the hunt for Game Over actively tracking Borehamwood's only publicised PK'er group. In the end we managed to wipe out their two leaders, whilst other survivors finished the job.

• BSLS had Borehamwood's only international celebrity, namely Dermot O'leary. Famed throughout the city for his habit of suicide repairs without telling anyone.

• BSLS made up 5% of The Borehamwood 100.

So what? I here you say. Did the BSLS do anything game changing or unique? Well I believe they did.

• BSLS helped discover, understand and fix the single most game breaking error in Urban Dead history, namely the free repair of all buildings with a repair cost of more than 150ap. Rather than exploit a bug that could of led to the reclamation of the entire ruined city in only a month and against the advice of some radical survivors, the Little Survivor's suspended all repairs, and tried to stop the game from massively screwing zombies. As one member commented. "We've stayed ahead of the zombies so far, we don't need this."

And on a slightly more annoying note,

• BSLS were finally wiped out when User:Rosslessness requested Kevan bring snow to Urban dead. Less than a day later the last of the group was devoured by a feral who simply followed their footprints.

Which is why you now get....

• Although it's freezing in Monroeville and Borehamwood, the snow isn't heavy enough to leave footprints there.

So there you go. I look forward to your, "WWWHHOOOOOOO?" comments. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:38, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
